If the master has just been started, it has no index which can be replicated
to slave. If you do a commit on master then a replicateable index version
will be shown on the slave and replication will proceed. Alternately, you
can add the following to master configuration

<str name="replicateAfter">startup</str>

The slave replication page should not show a NPE if the master is down. I'll
look into it.

I think that should be fine. I assume both master and slave are same Solr
version 1.4?
